Chapter 20

“I wonder what’s taking Lindy and Steve so long,” Kyle said.

I winked and said, “Guess.”

Kyle laughed and pulled me onto his lap. He put his hands on my stomach, slid them under my top, and began to rub my breasts. I wiggled in his lap and turned my head to kiss him. We opened our mouths and poked our tongues in and out of each other’s mouths. I caught his tongue between my lips and sucked on it a few times.

Kyle removed his mouth from mine and kissed my neck. I cocked my head, so his lips could cover more of my skin and let out a soft moan.

“You and Lindy were in rare form today.” Kyle chuckled and sucked on my earlobe.

I stiffened at his remark, wondering if he was upset about what Lindy and I had done.

“I’m sorry. We were kidding around.”

Kyle’s whole body shook as he laughed, and then he kissed my ear and squeezed my boobs. His fingertips circled my nipples, sending sparks through my body.

“You don’t have to be sorry, baby,” Kyle said.

“It wasn’t what you thought,” I responded before what he said sank in.

“How do you know what I was thinking?”

“I don’t know, I guess...,” I started to say.

Kyle moved his head, looking into my eyes. He smiled and then winked at me.

“Trish, do you love me?” I nodded. “Are you going to dump me for Lindy?”

I shook my head. “No, of course not.”

“Listen, I love you more than anything in the world. I know you love me too, so don’t worry about me getting mad at you for doing what’s perfectly normal.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, doesn’t everyone wonder about things, you know.”

“I must be dense. I don’t know.”

“Baby, you’re not the only one who wonders what it would be like to have sex with someone else, even someone of the same sex.”

I was going to deny what Kyle referred to, but I didn’t. “Do guys think about it too?”

Kyle blushed and nodded. “When I was about fourteen, a few of my buddies and I used to jack off together.”

“Did you ever do anything to each other?”

“No, we never did, but it doesn’t mean I didn’t think about it.”

“Do you still think about it?”

Kyle shrugged his shoulders. “I’ve thought about it, baby.”

“I guess I’m a late bloomer.” I smiled when Kyle grinned at me. “It’s something I think about but not something I’m sure I want to do. Sweetie, I love what we do together and that we’re learning together.”

“I do, too, baby. I don’t want to lose you,” Kyle said.

“What are you talking about? You’re not going to lose me. I love you and always want to be with you.”

“I feel the same way.” Kyle moved me to kneel on the settee with my legs outside his. He pulled me close, gave me a tender kiss, and smiled.

“Steve and I talked about things today while you and Lindy were sunning in the cockpit. He asked if I would break up with you if I found out you and Lindy were fooling around.”

I swallowed and blinked my eyes. “What did you say?” I didn’t know if I wanted to hear his answer.

“Well, after we talked about it, we both decided it would take a lot more to make us want to break up with you guys. Steve and I agreed we couldn’t stand the thought of you and Lindy cheating on us with other guys.”

“I wouldn’t like it if you went out with another girl.” I kissed him. “Do you think about it, you know, having sex with someone else?”

Kyle didn’t answer me. Instead, we stared into one another’s eyes while I waited for him to respond.

“I guess I have fantasies. I wouldn’t act on them, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have them.”

At first, I was devastated. I wondered how my boyfriend, my lover, could even entertain the thoughts of another girl. My sister’s words echoed through my head as I tried to comprehend what he said. I remember her telling me she and her husband couldn’t imagine the idea of only having sex with each other for the rest of their lives.

I began to wonder about myself. Could I spend the rest of my life with Kyle, or anyone, as my only lover? Most of the time, I didn’t think about it. I was more than happy with my relationship with Kyle, but sometimes, I did think about other boys.

It was usually when I surfed the web or read one of the romance novels I liked. The man was always faceless and nameless, but it wasn’t Kyle. More than once, I masturbated while dreaming of someone making love to me. It wasn’t because I didn’t love Kyle or wasn’t satisfied with our sex life as new as it was.

There were other things I’d read about and wanted to try, but I knew Kyle and I could experiment with each other. There was only one fantasy Kyle couldn’t fulfill.

Taking a deep breath and then letting it out slowly, I smiled at Kyle. “What kind of fantasies do you have, sweetie?”

“I don’t know; they come and go. Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like to have sex with several girls.”

Grinning, I asked, “Am I part of your harem?”

Kyle smiled and nodded. “You’re the star!”

“I am, huh. What makes me the star?”

“I love you! The other girls in my fantasies are just figures. I can’t even describe them.”

“You don’t dream of skinny girls with big boobs and long blonde hair?”

Kyle and I laughed. He shook his head, said, “Never,” and I kissed him. I don’t know if he was telling me the truth, but I liked what he said.

Reaching between us, I began to rub his crotch. Kyle shifted and smiled as I slipped my hands into his shorts and stroked his expanding cock. When he was fully erect, his dick stuck up above his waistband.

“Look what I found.” I slid down his legs and knelt on the deck. “Is this for me?”

I looked up and saw Kyle smiling as he nodded at me. I hooked my fingers in his shorts’ elastic waistband and pulled them down, exposing his rigid member. Staring into his eyes, I began to stroke his shaft.

“What about Lindy and Steve?” Kyle asked with a groan.

I kissed the head of his cock and grinned. “I think they fell asleep.” I kissed his dick again. “I don’t care.”

Leaning forward, I took his cock in my mouth and moved my tongue around the ridge. He sucked in a deep breath when I sucked in half his member. Slowly, I moved my head up and down, letting his cock slip out from between my lips before I opened my mouth and took him back in. Before closing my lips around his shaft, I took him to the back of my throat.

Kyle gripped the side of my head and guided me up and down his throbbing shaft. While giving him a slow sensual blowjob, I slid my hand into my pajama bottoms and rubbed myself. As my own excitement rose, I moaned around his cock.

After a few minutes, I was wet and nearing orgasm. Kyle’s hips began coming up to meet my mouth, driving his cock further each time. I gagged a couple of times but didn’t back off. Knowing Kyle was getting close, I removed my mouth, jumped to my feet, whipped off the bottoms of my pajamas, knelt on the settee, took his cock in my hand, and lowered myself until he was in me.

Kyle pushed up my top and kissed my breasts as I slowly rode his rigid member. He pushed up when I moved down, burying his cock in my hot pussy as far as it would go. His mouth latched onto one of my nipples, and he nibbled it, sending me over the edge. I slammed myself down and groaned as my pussy contracted around his cock.

My climax rolled through me like the thunder of the ongoing storm outside the boat. I arched my back, pushed my breast against his sucking mouth, and groaned. As Kyle moved beneath me, he also moved me. My heart pounded in my chest as I felt his cock throbbing in my pussy, shooting his semen into me.

“Wow, this is so good!” I moaned as his cock began to shrink.

“Yeah, it sure is.”

I slid off his legs and took his wilting member into my mouth, cleaning our combined juices from his cock. I slurped noisily as his dick began to swell. Holding him in my mouth, I felt his cock expand. He didn’t achieve a full erection but wasn’t flaccid. I bobbed and sucked, taking his semi-hard cock into my throat.

When I pulled off and looked up, Kyle was grinning from ear to ear. I grabbed my pajama bottoms and headed for our stateroom, hoping to get there before making a mess. After sitting on the toilet and letting Kyle’s cum drip out of me, I went to get a pair of panties and put them on, then I put the pajama bottoms back on and went up to the salon.

Kyle still sat where I’d left him, but his shorts were back up. I leaned over, kissed him, and chuckled as his hands went up the back of my thighs and under my short pajama bottoms to my butt.

“Why did you put panties on?”

“So I wouldn’t leak all over the place. You shot a big load in me.” I leaned forward, lifted my top, and pushed my breasts into his face.

Kyle pursed his lips and blew against my skin, making a weird sound. I laughed while he licked one of my nipples.

I pulled away, walked to the door, and went to the cockpit. It was still raining, but not as hard as earlier. I looked at a flag on other boats and saw the wind was still up. Kyle came out, stood behind me, and put his arms around my waist.

“It doesn’t look like we’re going to get out today?”

“I don’t think so. The wind is still blowing hard.” I pointed at the flag. “It’s probably rough on the lake.”

“Oh well, better luck next time.” Kyle kissed my neck. “Besides, making love with you is better than fishing.”

“Talk like that will get you anything you want, sweetie.”

Kyle tightened his grip on me. “I have what I want.”

I sighed and leaned my head back against his chest. He rubbed my stomach, moving his hand up until it touched the bottom of my breasts. I reached around and put my hands on his hips. We stared at the rain for a few minutes and then went inside. I decided to smoke and went to the stateroom to get my cigarettes.

Kyle made a face as I returned to the cockpit with my cigarettes. I stood under the overhang and lit one. I inhaled and felt the smoke warm my throat.

“Hi, Trish, what’s up?” Lindy asked as she came out and stood next to me.

“I’m having a smoke. How about you?”

“I’m great! Freshly fucked and feeling on top of the world.”

I laughed and nodded. “I thought you and Steve were sleeping.”

Lindy shook her head. “We came up earlier but went back to our room when we saw you and Kyle going at it.”

“Oops, sorry.”

“No problem. You looked like you were having a good time. When Steve and I saw you, you rode Kyle like a horse.”

I felt my cheeks warm as I realized Lindy and Steve had seen Kyle and me screwing.

“Steve wanted to stay and watch, but I took him back to bed and fucked him again.”

I nodded. Part of me was glad they had left, but the idea of them watching us was kind of exciting.

“Maybe next time you guys can stay and watch.” I grinned and looked at Lindy.

“Maybe we will, maybe we’ll join you two. Wouldn’t screwing in the same room be wild?”

I shrugged my shoulders and grinned. “Maybe I could learn something.” I started to laugh, and so did Lindy. We made a couple of jokes, and I flipped my smoke over the side.

Lindy and I returned to the salon and found the guys sitting on the settee. They were talking about the prospect of fishing in the morning. I sat on Kyle’s legs, and he put his arms around me but didn’t stop talking about fishing with Steve.

“I want ice cream,” Lindy said. “Do we have any in the freezer?”

“Sorry, we don’t have ice cream. If you want to, I’ll walk to the store with you.”

“In the rain?”

“Why not? We won’t melt. Let’s change and go, Lindy. All these guys want to do is talk about fishing.”

Lindy and I went below, changed into shorts and tee shirts, and went through the salon on our way to the door.

“Lindy and I are going to get ice cream. Do you guys want anything?”

Kyle and Steve said they were okay, so Lindy and I left. We walked to the store, laughing as we got drenched. The woman at the counter in the store gave us a strange look when we walked in and asked for cones. Both of us looked like drowned rats and were laughing uncontrollably.

The store’s porch was protected, so we sat on a bench and ate our ice cream cones. I watched the rain, wishing it would stop so we could take the boat out. I knew the guys were anxious to go.

“Would you have sex in the same room as Steve and me?” Lindy said.

“I don’t know, I guess so. It isn’t like we don’t know we’re all doing it. We’ve been running around naked. We all know what we look like.”

“I’d do it if Steve would.”

I laughed. “I don’t think Steve would say no to sex, would he?”

“Not on your life. He likes screwing too much.”

“Is it all you two do?” I asked.

Lindy nodded. “We touch each other and things. I like it when he fingers me.”

I nodded. “I love it too! Kyle touches something in my pussy that makes me go nuts and can make me cum like there’s no tomorrow.”

“Do you get off when you guys screw?”

“Sometimes, but not always. If I touch myself while Kyle’s in me, it helps. Do you come when you and Steve do it?”

“Like you, I come sometimes. I like it when Steve gets me off with his fingers first. I wish I could come every time we screwed, but I don’t.”

“I’m not disappointed or upset because of it. I like it when Kyle screws me, regardless of whether I have an orgasm or not. I’m happy he’s my boyfriend.”

“I’m looking forward to our last year of high school, Trish. This will be the first year you ever had a steady boyfriend, right?”

“Yeah. I know it’s stupid, but I want to flaunt my boyfriend to kids I know. Kids who teased me before.”

“Once they get a look at you, they’ll stop teasing you, Trish.”

“I hope so. I’ve worked hard to look like this.”

“Honey, I’m not talking about your body. I’m talking about your attitude. As I said, you’re very different from how you used to be.”

I laughed. “You mean you can tell I’m not a virgin by looking at me?”

“Sure, it’s the big red F on your forehead. It stands for fucked! Haven’t you ever noticed it on the other girls?” Lindy smiled.

Lindy and I laughed, then she poked me in the ribs with her elbow. “Let’s go. All this talk makes me miss Steve.”

I got up, grabbed Lindy’s arm, and pulled her to her feet. We walked back to the boat, laughing and making jokes. The rain let up, but there was a steady drizzle. Lindy and I were wet when we returned and removed our clothes before entering the cabin. As we walked through the salon, Kyle and Steve whistled at us.

Lindy and I waved at them as we went down to get dry and change. I finished my hair and pulled on one of my dad’s tank-style tee shirts and panties. Lindy was still in her room when I walked in to see how long she would be.

“Are you about ready, Lindy?”

“Yup, I’m all set.” Lindy pulled on a top that came down to her hips. She was wearing panties, and I figured she would put on a pair of shorts.

“Let’s go,” Lindy said as she headed for the door.

We went up and joined our boyfriends on the settee. Kyle and Steve sat on the opposite ends of the couch while Lindy and I sat between them. I turned on the television, and we watched a couple of programs.

When I curled my legs under me and leaned against Kyle, he put his arm around me and began rubbing my arm. I lifted my arm, and his hand moved to my side. The armhole of my shirt gave Kyle easy access to my breasts, and he took advantage of it. His fingers stroked my boob, causing my nipple to start getting hard.

The four of us sat cuddled on the settee, gently touching and sharing kisses. When the ten o’clock news came on, we stopped to watch it. The weather report called for the rain to stop, but it also said the wind would be fifteen to twenty-five miles an hour. The report also said the waves on Lake Huron would be five to eight feet in the morning and less later in the day.

“Looks like we’re going to be here tomorrow,” I said.

“Maybe the weather report is wrong, and it will be calm enough to leave,” Kyle said.

“Maybe, sweetie, but I wouldn’t count on it. You have to deal with this when you travel by boat.”

Lindy chuckled and said, “There’s one good thing. We’ll get to sleep in tomorrow morning.”

“Yup, we sure will.” Steve sounded discouraged.

“You and Kyle will be able to fish again, honey. Until then, I’ll keep you happy.” Lindy kissed Steve and grinned.

The news went off, and a movie started. I got up, turned off the cabin lights, and returned to the settee. Kyle hugged me as I sat beside him and rested my hand on his leg. The only light in the cabin was from the television. I sat to see the movie and saw Lindy and Steve from the corner of my eye.

Lindy saw me, winked, then turned to Steve. She wiggled against him and started to give him a kiss. As I watched, Lindy moved her hand on his leg and began rubbing his crotch. I chuckled under my breath and snuggled against Kyle.

Kyle and I kissed, and he put his hand under my shirt. When he began playing with my nipple, I moaned into his mouth, put my hand on his leg, slid it under the leg of his shorts, and rubbed his cock. We made out for a while when I felt Lindy bump me.

Glancing at Lindy, I saw her smile at me. I looked down and noticed she was holding Steve’s dick. He had his head back, and eyes closed as she moved her hand up and down his erection. Keeping her hand moving, she winked and mouthed, “Follow me.”

I raised my eyebrows. I wasn’t sure what she had planned but decided to go along. Lindy took off her panties and returned her hand to Steve’s dick. I grinned, removed my hand from Kyle’s shorts, and stripped.

I watched Lindy lie back against the settee and open her legs. I did the same thing. Kyle and Steve were staring at us with open mouths.

“I want a cock in my pussy!” Lindy said.

I laughed and glanced at Kyle to see how he would react. He got up and pulled off his shorts when I nodded at him. Steve was right behind Kyle. Suddenly, they were standing in front of Lindy and me. Kyle was the first to kneel on the deck and move between my legs.

“What are you doing?” Kyle asked as his head came next to mine.

“I’m waiting for you to fuck me!”

Kyle chuckled, moved closer, and slid his cock into my pussy. I hooked my legs behind him and pulled him to me. Glancing over, I saw Steve get between Lindy’s legs.

“Ah, yes, this is the life,” Lindy said. “On a boat with two hot studs between our legs.”

“I have to agree with you, Lindy. This is great. Except I only have one hot stud between my legs.”

“Yeah, and that’s the way it better be!” Kyle said with a chuckle.

Kyle and Steve moved as Lindy, and I talked but found it hard not to laugh at us.

“What do you want to fix for breakfast tomorrow, Trish?”

“I don’t know. How about pancakes and sausage?” Lindy said.

“Mmmm, maybe bacon. I’m having a nice sausage right now.”

Kyle leaned over, sucked on one of my nipples, and then pulled off, making a popping sound. “I think breasts would be good too. This one is delicious.”

Steve covered one of Lindy’s boobs with his mouth and then lifted his head. “This one is good too.”

We continued to laugh as Kyle and Steve screwed Lindy and me. Our sexual play was carefree and fun. I looked at Lindy and laughed as Steve pumped his cock in her.

“Your boobs look funny when Steve fucks you.”

Lindy shook her shoulders. “Why, because they jiggle? Yours do too.”

“I know, but my boobs don’t look funny,” I said.

“Yes, they do!”

“No, they don’t!”

“Do!” Lindy shouted.

“Do not!”

“Do!”

“Do not!”

“Steve, tell Trish her boobs look funny when Kyle fucks her,” Lindy said.

Steve began laughing so hard that he had to stop moving for a minute. He finally settled down, looked at me, and said, “Trish, your boobs look funny like Lindy’s do.”

Lindy reached out and slapped Steve’s butt. “Shut up and fuck me.”

I heard Steve let out a groan and turned to watch him as he came. Kyle’s body stiffened, and he pushed into me. I clenched my vaginal muscles and felt his cock throbbing as he reached his orgasm.

A few moments later, Kyle was leaning against me. Steve was doing the same to Lindy. They were panting and trying to catch their breath. I stroked the back of Kyle’s head and then pulled his face close to mine.

“This was fun. Did you like it?” I said.

Kyle nodded and looked at me. I grinned, unwrapped my legs, and let them fall next to Kyle, resting my feet on the deck. Lindy glanced at me, winked, and began to smile.

After a few minutes, Kyle pulled out of me and leaned back. He put his hands on my knees, pushed my legs open, and put his head between them. I felt this tongue on my pussy, exhaled, and grabbed his head.

Lindy and Steve sat and stared at Kyle as he licked me. He was noisy about what he was doing, driving me nuts. The look on Steve’s face was one of shock as he watched Kyle between my legs. I leaned my head back and enjoyed the feeling of his tongue and mouth on my pussy.

“Oh my god!” Lindy said.

I opened my eyes, looked at her, and grinned when I saw Steve doing to her what Kyle was doing to me. Lindy’s eyes were wide open, and so was her mouth as Steve lapped at her sex.

“I told you it was great,” I said quietly.

“You didn’t tell me it was this great!” Lindy said with a moan.

I closed my eyes again and concentrated on what Kyle was doing. He began to finger me and sucked on my clit, causing jolts of pleasure to rocket through my body. I started rubbing my breasts and tugging at my nipples as I moaned.

A sharp scream from Lindy announced her climax and seemed to trigger mine. I felt my pussy contract around Kyle’s finger and groaned as I went over the top. Kyle found the spot inside my pussy and pressed against it, making my orgasm much better. I released my breasts, grabbed Kyle’s head, and drove my crotch against his mouth. As my climax began to subside, my body went limp.

Kyle removed his finger but not his mouth. He kissed my pussy as my body responded with small orgasms. I finally had to push his head away and close my legs.

Lindy yelled out her pleasure and bounced her crotch against Steve’s face. He seemed to be maintaining contact, but I wasn’t sure how. Lindy’s legs flailed, and her hands gripped Steve’s head. Looking up, Lindy repeatedly shouted, “YES!”

Kyle rested his head on my legs and watched Lindy and Steve. When Lindy’s body relaxed and her head fell back, I figured she was through. She gasped for breath, moving her head from side to side. As I watched, I wondered if I looked like she did when I climaxed.

“No more, please stop. I can’t take it,” Lindy said as she pushed against Steve’s forehead.

Steve sat back on his heels and stared at Lindy’s splayed crotch. She looked down at him and slowly brought her knees together.

“You better get cleaned up,” I said, stroking Kyle’s wet hair.

“Okay, I’ll be right back,” Kyle said, lifting his head and looking into my eyes.

While Kyle stood up, Steve got to his feet too. They looked at one another, laughed, and headed for the door to the cockpit. Before I could say a word, they went through the door, then I heard a splash.

“I can’t believe they’re skinny dipping in the marina,” I told Lindy.

“I can’t believe how good having my pussy eaten feels! I can’t remember ever coming as hard. I can see why you like it so much.”

I grinned and nodded. “I guess I should get cleaned up too.”

“I don’t think my pussy has ever been so clean! Steve surprised me when he did it. I mean, he just came in me.”

“I like to suck Kyle’s cock after we screw. It tastes so yummy!”

Lindy made a face, then began to grin. “I guess I’ll have to give it another shot. I’ll learn to like sucking his dick if Steve does it again. Let’s go jump in the water with the guys.”

“Someone might see us.”

“Trish, you just fucked next to Steve and me. How can you get all modest now?”

“That’s different.”

“Come on, it’ll be fun.”

“What the hell? I’ll do it if you will.” Laughing, I headed for the door.

Lindy and I went to the cockpit, jumped into the water, and swam around. Kyle and Steve were hanging onto the dock when we joined them.

We hung onto the dock and kicked our legs in the warm water. It was pitch black, and we could hardly see one another. I felt a chill and said I was going to get out. Lindy followed me to the ladder, then we stood in the cockpit, dripping on the deck. Kyle and Steve also got out and came over to us.

“Um, I guess I should have grabbed some towels,” I said, then I grabbed a damp tee shirt off the tackle station and wiped most of the water off my body. “I’ll be right back with dry towels.”

I went into the cabin and brought out four towels. We dried ourselves quickly and went in to get out of the chilly night air.

We started to get dressed, but I said, “Why should I bother getting dressed?” I dropped my tee shirt and sat on my towel.

Kyle chuckled, sat next to me, and gave me a hug. “What we did was different.”

“Yeah, it was. I think it was fun.”

“It was definitely hot!”

I snuggled against Kyle and kissed him. “Yes, definitely! You’re not upset, are you?”

“No, baby, not at all. I think it was fun, too.” Kyle kissed me and grinned. “I’d do it again if you would.”

“I might. It would all depend on the circumstances. It isn’t something I’d want to do all the time. I like being alone with you.”

“I loved it,” Lindy said. “It was great getting screwed and watching you guys. I love making love with Steve when we’re alone, but this was fun. I don’t think I could do it with anyone other than you and Kyle.”

“You know what surprises me? I’ve become comfortable about being naked around you guys,” Steve said. “It embarrassed me at first, but now it doesn’t. I even forget I’m naked sometimes.”

“This must be what it’s like at one of those nudist camps.” I leaned against Kyle. “You know, it wasn’t long ago I wouldn’t go from my bathroom to my bedroom without a robe on.”

Kyle moved away from me and got up. He told me he’d be right back and went below. When he returned, he had his camera.

“I want to take a few pictures of us if you guys don’t care,” Kyle said as he looked for a place to set the camera. “The camera has a self-timer, so we can get a group shot.”

I jumped up, grabbed Lindy’s arm, and pulled her to her feet. We moved to the center of the room, and I put my arm around her waist. “Take one of Lindy and me first, Kyle.”

Kyle pointed the camera at us and took a couple of shots. I told Steve to stand with Lindy so Kyle could take a few of them. After Kyle took the pictures, I told him to give Steve the camera to take some of Kyle and me.

“Put the camera on the counter and get a picture of all of us,” I said.

Kyle put the camera on the counter, asked Lindy, Steve, and me to stand together, and framed the shot. After setting the timer, Kyle joined us. We stared at the camera and waited until the flash went off. Lindy and I stood in front of the guys for the following picture as they put their arms around our waists.

By the time we finished, we were all laughing. Lindy kept making Kyle promise to never show the pictures to anyone. Kyle told Lindy he would print the photos and erase the files.

It was getting late, so we decided to call it a night, gathered our things, and headed below. After telling one another goodnight, Kyle and I went to our room, and Lindy and Steve went to theirs.

Once we were in bed, Kyle and I cuddled and kissed tenderly. He stroked my back and then moved his hand to my bottom. When he pulled me closer, I felt his stiff cock against me.

Kyle and I continued to kiss and hug until we fell asleep in one another’s arms.

When I woke up, Kyle wasn’t in bed next to me. I stretched, sat up, swung my legs over the side, and got out. While I sat on the toilet, I noticed water streaking the shower’s glass walls and knew Kyle had already used it.

I took a quick shower, wiped the glass, got out, dried my hair, pulled it into a ponytail, dressed, and went to the salon. Kyle and Steve sat at the table, drinking orange juice and talking.

“Good morning.” I leaned over and gave Kyle a kiss. “How long have you guys been up?”

“About an hour, baby. There’s fresh coffee,” Kyle said.

“Thanks.” I went to the galley and filled a mug with aromatic coffee. “Is Lindy still sleeping?”

“I guess so. We didn’t get right to sleep last night.” Steve chuckled and grinned at me.

I walked to the door, opened it, and stepped out into the cockpit. The rain stopped, but the wind was blowing as the weather report forecasted. I glanced at the flag on the gas dock and watched it whipping in the wind.

“It looks like it might be rough on the lake,” I said as I sat beside Kyle.

“It is. Steve and I walked out on the break wall this morning. I don’t think we’ll be able to leave anytime soon.” Kyle smiled. “I guess we better call our parents and tell them about the change in our plans.”
